Il sistema integrato di istruzione e educazione come luogo di decostruzione : le possibilità offerte dall’educazione sessuale olistica (CSE) : School as a site of deconstruction : the possibilities offered by comprehensive sexual education (CSE)
No full textNel presente contributo si vuole riflettere sul ruolo che il sistema integrato di istruzione e educazione, sin dalla prima infanzia, può svolgere nell’ambito dell’educazione di genere, affettiva e sessuale. Le ricerche nel campo confermano come questo tipo di educazione, se improntata a un modello definito ‘olistico’ (OMS, 2010), abbia effetti positivi sulla riduzione delle gravidanze indesiderate, delle infezioni sessualmente trasmissibili e dei comportamenti sessuali a rischio. Quello che ci chiediamo, qui, però, è anche se in un luogo come quello scolastico, che deve promuovere per mandato un’attitudine aperta alle pluralità, nel rispetto delle differenze (Linee Guida Nazionali “Educare al rispetto:per la parità tra i sessi, la prevenzione della violenza di genere e di tutte le forme di discriminazione”), questa educazione possa contribuire efficacemente alla formazione di relazioni paritarie tra i generi, che contrastino discriminazioni e violenza. In altre parole, quanto può l’educazione sessuale a scuola, nel percorso di decostruzione dei principali stereotipi legati alle differenze di genere e di comprensione delle diverse identità, muoversi tra contenuti, nozioni ed esperienze? Quanto e come si può osare “l’inattuale”, per mettere in discussione strutture e narrazioni dominanti, per evitare di reiterare e rinforzare modelli tutt’altro che inclusivi, che sono piuttosto a sostegno di logiche oppressive?Nella consapevolezza che non ‘tutta’ l’educazione affettiva, sessuale e di genere possa essere affidata all’educazione formale, si vuole qui immaginare una comunità capace di “trasgredire” i condizionamenti (hooks, 2020), di mettere in discussione e decostruire le rappresentazioni, spesso dicotomiche, dei generi, della sessualità e delle relazioni affettive. Non senza interrogarci, tuttavia, sugli ostacoli che una tale operazione potrà incontrare all’interno di contesti scolastici complessi e ad alta diversità.In this contribution, we contemplate the role that schools, from early childhood onward, can assume within the sphere of gender, emotional, and sexual education. Empirical research in this domain corroborates the beneficial impact of such education, remarkably when grounded in a comprehensive (holistic) model, as articulated by the World Health Organization (2010). This includes observed reductions in unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and high-risk sexual behaviours. Nevertheless, our inquiry extends to the capacity of educational institutions, mandated to foster openness to plurality and uphold respect for diversity (as per NationalGuidelines on “Educating for Respect: Gender Equality, Prevention of Gender-Based Violence, and All Forms of Discrimination”), to effectively foster equitable gender relations that counteract discrimination and violence. Put differently, we aim to explore the potential of school-based sexual education in deconstructing gender stereotypes and embracing diverse identities through a nuanced engagement with content, concepts, and experiential learning. To what extent can we challenge conventional paradigms and narratives, thereby sidestepping the perpetuation of exclusionary models that bolster oppressive ideologies? While acknowledging that emotional, sexual, and gender education cannot be confined to the school environment, we aspire to envision a community capable of transcending established norms and critically examining dichotomous representations of gender, sexuality, and emotional bonds. Nonetheless, we remain aware of the obstacles that may impede such endeavours within an intricate and heterogeneous landscape
Dalla maternità come destino alla scelta (o non-scelta) della genitorialità : quale il ruolo dell’educazione alla sessualità? = From Maternity as Destiny to the Choice (or Non-Choice) of Parenthood : What is the Role of Sex Education?
Get PDFll contributo propone una riflessione sull'educazione sessuale quale dispositivo attraverso cui affrontare questioni connesse al tema della maternità e, più in generale, a modelli di genitorialità e famiglia, per affrancarsi dal modello della maternità inteso come “unico” destino (De Sanctis, Fariello, Strazzeri, 2020). Questa forma di educazione mira a promuovere una visione più ampia della genitorialità superando sia il binomio donna-madre, sia forme di perfomatività genitoriale (intensive parenting) (Hays, 1998; Shirani, Henwood, Coltart, 2012; Demozzi, Gigli, Cino, 2019). A livello internazionale, si riconosce che i diritti fondamentali delle persone includono la sfera della sessualità come parte integrante dei diritti umani universali (WAS, 1997; OMS, 2010; UNESCO, 2018). Di conseguenza, l'educazione sessuale assume un ruolo essenziale nel percorso educativo delle donne, promuovendo una cultura del consenso e del rispetto, che possa superare la tradizionale associazione tra sessualità e maternità e tenere aperto un orizzonte al plurale
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
